From someone who grew up with an old-school-outlaw-bustin-cowboy-mentor - I was taught to MAKE the horse do. Pressure was always on. It has been very hard to retrain my hands and muscle memory to be soft. Being a soft handler takes just as much practice as it does to be a soft horse!
Jimmy is a beauty! Love the tips Matt - fundamentals are much needed for all horsemen.
I’d say it’s less of a soft hand and more of shifting to using release as much as you use pressure.
I’m 56, a beginner rider. Each session of groundwork, I learn something new. But I’m a softie. I speak softly to my horse that I train with. I look for affection and I’m starting to get it. But I know I have to be cautious because she knows she’s stronger than me.
Love ground work. I'm a firm believer in moving my horses forward, backwards, left and right during my ground work session. Makes for a nice and respectful horse. :)
Hi again MATT
Good to see you.
No better said then to pay attention to the small things. Taking care of those little things on the ground can make a big difference and less hassle when riding. Really good tips can be used at
any time.
Thx as always for sharing. Good to know you're surviving the heat!
You are so good with horses. I love your techniques. Thank you for another informative video!!

My horse is recovering from laminitis and have been told to hand exercise him. This will give me something to do for the next month or 2.

Hello
im sorry but i see a lot of confusing signals to this horse. hes wanting to find the right answer but doesnt know what is being asked. Lots of good things happening here but there are certain parts where the question wasn't so black and white.
I want to thank you I have confidence win I ride my horse and she is doing so good with me thank you Matt and I'm doing the grand work with her and can I ask win I ride her and she can I go to the ground work with her and get off her thank you Nannette
What does it mean when a horse licks its lips?
Matt, I like your style, but the guy that you are working with, I hope that, off camera, you gave him some tips on being a little softer.
Just seeing your videos for the first time. Looking forward to finding more videos of yours
Hey Matt. That was great. I have a horse that sometimes bucks under saddle when I running fast on a third Barrel home I have been lunging him at the Lope before getting on. And trying to make him buck on the ground and then reprimanding him by saying hey in a Gruff voice when he does buck. And then getting on when he has no bucks left to give. In your opinion am I doing the right thing that's good for my horse?
Make the good things easy, make the bad things hard. I live by that saying
@@wabarrelracer6510 well so do I but I am still lost on what to do. I make bucking hard by pulling on him and saying hey but idk if it's working. It's so hard to make something that powerful hard or uncomfortable for him to do ya know
@@passionatehorsemanship3334 yeah. Have you ruled out ulcers, uncomfortable saddle fit, uncomfortable bit and all that?
@@wabarrelracer6510 yes I ruled out all those things too.
@@passionatehorsemanship3334 which horse is it? Just looked at your channel. Is it your paint or your sorrel?
That's a thick horse
A facility of that caliber should be able to get a round pen.
Everything starts from somewhere, don’t they?
@@mattmillsreining1 Isn't that the truth!!?!!
No kidding !
To put it into perspective,a basic light roundpen will cost about $1300
That is for just light panels and not including sand/dirt and grading or tractor work. Cost quite a bit to set up a proper roundpen. Ask me how I know.
Matt does use a roundpen.
Horrible! You are rushing, confusing, bullying the horse. Try watching Warwick schiller.
Says the person that was not there and does not know Any history on this horse. Thank you for your opinion. I respectfully disagree. 🤙🏾🤙🏾〽️
